He admitted he “shouldn't have really been there"

With a prince as a groom, a former TV star as the bride and a bridal party made up entirely of children of under the age of seven, the royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was anything but traditional.

Now, it has been revealed the Duke and Duchess bucked another custom at their May 19 nuptials.

New audio released by the Royal Collection Trust, the charity responsible for the exhibition of the pair’s wedding day garments, being held currently at Windsor Castle, reveals that Prince Harry played a part in selecting Meghan’s wedding outfit.

The former actress revealed that her now-husband joined her to meet with Queen Elizabeth II to select a tiara from her majesty’s jewel vault for her to wear down the aisle.

"This was an incredibly surreal day as you can imagine,” the Duchess joked in the audio.

After taking in a selection of coveted jewels, Meghan decided on the Queen Mary’s Filigree Tiara “because it was so clean and simple".

A choice that was given the tick of approval by Prince Harry.

"It was the one that suited the best, the one that looked the best on you without question."
